He is passionate about his and Aedas’ design and for his clients’ success.

Keith has guided Aedas’ philosophy that great design can only be delivered by people with a deep social and cultural understanding of the communities they are designing for. He and his team value diversity and consider a diverse world is a more interesting world and that in every commission Aedas undertakes, they must first seek to understand the society and culture of the local communities to contribute professionally to the built environment.
